End of my strength
After so much waiting, I finally had lumpectomy on 9/3/14. Pathology report said that there were 2 tumors found, margins in many places were negligible, and that the cancer is grade 3. Met with surgeon again Monday, we are awaiting the results of my Myriad genetics panel, and then will determine whether I go directly back to surgery, or have chemo first. There are so many horrible things happening in my life right now, I feel almost like I am cursed, and I just have nothing left in me to fight with. I am not a quitter, but I don't know how to find the strength to face all of the medical stuff again, let alone the very critical illness of my 6 month old granddaughter, and the process of unexpectedly having to find a new place to live, and a Mom with alzheimers who is just draining every ounce of strength that I have. Help.
